If trauma is part of what you're carrying, whether from something years ago or something closer, that's where I lean in. I also work with the everyday weight of anxiety and depression, the stuff that doesn't always make headlines but still runs your day. I bring the same respect and directness to every conversation, whatever you're working through.
I meet people where they are rather than pushing a script. Sessions are conversational first, so you're not stuck explaining yourself before we actually talk. I'm comfortable with substance use as part of the picture too, not something you have to hide or clean up before showing up.
Our first session is mostly me getting the full picture: what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping changes. No pressure to have it all figured out. From there we build the pace together, since I'm only taking on a small number of clients right now and I want that time to count.
